In depth

Verdict

Zhukovsky wasn’t beaten far at Wolverhampton last month but is up against younger horses today and is conceding plenty of weight. NOTFORALONGTIME is penalised for winning at Chelmsford last time but Clive Cox’ colt landed the odds by a wide-margin on that occasion and is taken to confirm running with Astroman and go in again. The likes of Prince Percy, Indian Road and Giovanni Tiepolo have yet to threaten and it would be no surprise if the newcomer Makram gets involved as his dam is related to Group 1 winners Youmzain and Creachadoir.
